Indeed, the inner block cipher looks superfluous since it's only used once by ccm and there is no nesting similar to aesni-intel. Inner algorithms are only needed if you want to nest it, e.g., through fpu(). Otherwise I don't see any difference vs. calling the underlying functions directly, especially since you seem to be calling them directly anyway.
